Mustang Vision : Cowboy Poetry

written by Poet : Codger


Mustang Vision


Last night I had a vision

The images came to life

Pictures set before me

Against a blood red sky


I thought I could hear thunder

Like hail on an old tin roof

Suddenly I realized

It was horses on the move


I saw them in the distance

Charging through the clouds

A gorgeous herd of mustangs

Wild and running proud


They came on ever closer

I began to see details

These were spirit horses

Riding a ghostly trail


Their hooves were throwing fire

With every step they took

I wanted to move closer

To gain a better look


Manes as dark as coal

Coats of red and black

Eyes of glowing embers

Never looking back


I saw no brands upon them

No fences held them in

No man could ever own them

Independence with no end


The meaning of this vision

Came to me just then

A smile upon my face

A strange but knowing grin


When I leave this world

I can choose where I want to be

I think I’ll run with mustangs

Forever wild and free
